last point, it is hoped, will contribute to remedy the com plaints so often made on this subject,which desiring to ex tend itself as much as possible, will second by its exertions all the efforts of the Government, to convert into schools of morality, establishments which are intended only for the punishment of the guilty. It will admit affiliated societies, and will especially employ the way of instruction to render the prisoners better. HAMBURGH, OCT. 4. There is in the Weser another ship, the Creole, which is to take on board and convey to Rio de Janeiro, between 3 and 400 military colonists. The Allgemeine Zeitiing of the 11th instant, has 03 0 been received this morning. The Prussian Mi nister of Finance has returned from a visit to Pome rania and West Prussia, whither he had gone to as sure himself of the distress of the landowners in those Parts, which he found to be too sadly true, as will be seon by the following ,extract BERLIN, SEPT. 28. The Minister of Finance, M. Von Motz, returned on the 16th from his tour through Pomerania and West Prussia. The numerous complaints from those provinces rendered his presence necessary to examine the local circumstances on the spot. In fact, the distress of the reat landowners, who ha ve b ecome, per h aps improperly, t h e organs of the ' a rmors, is very great. This being acknowledged, we shall be more and more convinced, even against our will, that, with the progress of culture and population, very ex tensive landed possessions, as the property of individuals, are injurious to the State, and can be supported only by very disproportionate sacrifices. If this lesson Were the Only one that we had derived from the distress of the great landholders, which has been so frequently discussed, the present generation would not have purchased it too dearly 14 the benefit of posterity. By the abolition of what was called the Staatskontrale, the department of Finance has obtained a new and more 'efficient character, which will be more clearly developed by the new instructions for the Supreme Chamber of Ac counts, the , publication of which is anxiously expected. M .Bit is said, will soon officially declare his conver sion to the Roman Catholic Faith, and at the same time resign his office, having as it is reported splendid prospects of being employed in foreign service. His departure will deprive our mystics and pietists of a zealous advocate. Visni4A, OCT. 6.—Metalliques, 89. 9-16. ; Bank Shares, 1058. In another column will be found a statement of the Irish Revenue for the last quarter, in which there has been an increase of 39,0951. This improvement, though small, is still satisfactory, as showing that the "uses which operated so severely to depress particular branches of our Revenue here, did not exist in Ireland. W e have no doubt that the reviving spirit of trade will bear us out in our prognostications of a corres- Iding improvement in the Revenue of the ensuing quarter. It has been said that the real cause of distress throughout the country may be ascribed in a great measure to combination, and we are inclined to think that there is too much justice in the remark.. If we L'ok to every department of trade, the spirit of "inihination exists more or less in all.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH—GUILDHALL--.(Tuts DAY.) lIONOURABLI JUST INDIA COIIPANY tf• AND HENRY HUNT. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case to the Jury. This was an issue directed by his Honour the Vice-Chan cellor, and the question to be tried was, whether on the Ist of July, 1822, there existed any, and what debt, due from John Carr to the plaintiffs, so as to charge therewith his separate estate. The defendants were the assignees of John Carr, who had become a bankrupt. The history of the case was to this effect :—ln the year 1809, a gentle man, of the name of Wm. Hope, having for a long time been storekeeper at Madras, and having made his fortune,. determined to return to his native country (England) with his family, to live upon his fortune. He transmitted part of his property, according to the custom of remitting money from the East Indies, drawn in Exchequer Bills by the Governor of Madras; the amount thus sent was upwards of 24,000/. by bills in different parts, which got into the hands of Mr. Carr. The bills were drawn in Jan. 1809, and in the same month Mr. Hope, with his family, left Madras on board the Lady Jane Duchess of Gordon, having parts of the bills with him—the other parts having been sent by another ship. On the 14th of March, in the same year, the Lady Jane Duchess of Gordon was seen in a heavy storm, which was the last time she ever was seen or heard of, and therefore there was every reason to sup pose that at that time she must have gone down, and diet all on board perished. Mr. Carr had originally been a partner with Mr. Hope in business in the East Indies, and after his return to London had for many years acted us his agent in this country. The bills in question that came into his hands were presented at the East India house inlthe month of July, 1809, and were drawn pay able at three months after sight. The bills requiring the indorsement of William Hope himself, before they could be paid, Mr. Carr indorsed them in his character of agent to Mr. Hope, producing at the same time a general power of attorney, which at the moment was sup posed to be a sufficient authority to enable him to make the indorsement. At this time Mr. Hope was no more and therefore that power of attorney, in law, .had been, revoked, though the circumstance was not known here at the time; it also turned out upon a more minute examina tion into the terms of the power of attorney, that it did not authorise him to endorse bills of exchange. The bills haiing been thus indorsed by the East India Company, Mr. Carr subseqUently indorsed them "over to Barclay, Perkins, and Co.. his bankers, to whom the amount in cash was paid in October, and placed to the credit of Messrs. Carr and Davis, by their bankers. In the Spring of 1812, a gentleman, of the name of James Murray, having the character of administrator to the deceased Mr. Hope, applied to the East India Com pany for the payment of the 24,0001. to him, the applica tion was refused, and an action against the individual Directors was the result; before this action could be tried, Mr. Murray died. Administration was then taken out by Mr. John Murray, who thought proper not to renew or carry on the action against the individual Directors, but to institute one against the Company. This action was brought in 1816, tried in 1819, and the judgment of this Court not delivered upon it till 1821, when the Court de cided that the Company ought to pay the money to Mr. Murray, which they did, amounting, with interest and costs, to more than thirty-five thousand pounds. From some extraordinary coincidence of circumstances, on the very day on which the Court gave judgment in favour of Mr. Mur ray, and on that very day on which the money was paid, but before it was paid, Mr. Carr became a bankrupt, though till that moment, Mr. C. had been considered a solvent merchant in the city. Whether the idea that the East India Company would call on Mr. Carr for the money back had any weight or not, the learned solicitor would not undertake to say. From the moment the application was first made to the East India Company for the second payment of the money, both Mr. Carr, and Barclay Tri ton and Co:, had been apprised of it, and no step had been taken but what they had been informed of, and reference made to them as the parties liable to refund the money if it had been wrongly paid. The notice of the claim had been given from time to time, and therefore it was hoped the ket tl e of limitations would not be considered to apply. W. Bell examined by Mr. SCARLETT—Wit 3 a clerk with Messrs. Barclay, Tritton and Co.; they were the bankers of Messrs Davis and Carr.

R a msay, the treasilrer. i As the bills were indorsed by p rocura tio n , the power of attorney supposed to authoris e i t , was en t ere d i n the book now produced. (The terms of the power were here read.) By Mr. MARRYATT—in general the Court of Directors require powers of attorney to be left for sonic days with them, upon the validity of which they exercise their own judgment. Vizar was attorney 'for Davit and Carr, and pro duced the power of attorney in q uest i o n to the East India Company. Healing was attorney, first for . Mr. James and then for Mr. Murray. Had the letters of administration for both. Witness brought the first action against the plaintiffs, and during that time had c ommunications with the last witness as the attorney . of Davis and Carr. Several letters were now put in and read, which passed between the attorneys respecting the claim, and insisting on it from time to time on the part of Messrs. Murray. The particulars of the bankruptcy of Mr. Carr were proved. _ Vizard recalled—Upon the dissolution of the part nership between Davis and Carr, witness became concerned for the latter only. Stafford Spurr was concerned as attorney for Mr. Davis. There were many meetings respecting this matter about six or eight years ago, but could not recollect attending any of them. Lawford attended some of the meetings in his character of attorney, Mr. Carr and Mr. Spurr also attend ed some of them. Mr. MARRYATT addressed the Jury on behalf of the de fendants. He thought the case was any thing but made out on the part of the plaintiffs. The questions for the Jury were, first, whether the plaintiffs were at liberty to prove any debt whatever; anti next, if they were, whether they were entitled to charge the separate estate of Mr. Carr with that amount ? The law was, that if the plain tiffs had a claim against the joint estate of Davis and Carr, they could not come agai nst the separate estate of the latter, until after all the separtxre creditors had been, paid 20s. in the pound. It was also clear that unless the debt had been admitted within the period of six years from the bankruptcy, all claims would have to be considered as barred, by the Statute of Limitations ; and here, he thought, it was evident that the Statute could apply; but the Learned Counsel's strong point, and indeed the whole case was, that there never was any debt whatever, provable against any body. Throughout the whole of the long string of correspondence that had been read, between the :tummies of the plaintiffs and Messrs. Murray, it did not appear that the slightest intimation had been made to Mr. Carr, or to Messrs. Davi s a n d C arr , th at t h ey wou ld ever be called upon to refund the money, until by a letter of the 4th of December, 1821, both Mr. Carr, Mr. Davis, and Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, &Co., were informed by the attor ney of the plaintiffs, that they should all be held liable for the money. It was conclusive, therefore, that the Statute of Limitations did apply. It was not only necessary that notice of a debt should be given, but that admission of the debt, and a promise to pay it, should be made, to take it out of the statute. The East India Company had paid the money upon the indorsement of Mr. Carr, under the power of attorney, upon the validity of winch the Company exercised their own judgment, satisfied themselves that they ought to pay the money under it, and therefore they had no power to receive that payment from any beingin ex istence,much less from Mr. Carr's separate estate, he never having received a shilling of the money separately, but the whole haiing gone to the joint account of him and Davis. The Learned Counsel therefore relied on the Jury finding their verdict in favour of his client. The Learned JUDGE said there were a great many most important points here, on which it was hardly to be expected all parties would be satisfied with his in sulated opinion ; if the parties however wished it, lie was ready to address the jury on all the points, or was willing to leave it upon a special case, to be argued be fore the full Court. Upon a consultation at the bar, it was agreed that the Learned Judge should leave the question to the jury, whether there had been such a recognition on the part of Mr. Carr of an existing debt, as to take the case out of the Statute of Limitations. The Loan CHIEF-JUSTICE then summed up, leaving this question to the Jury. Upon the questions, Whether the plaintiffia had a right to sue others than Barclay, Trits ton and Co. ? and if they had--whether they had aright to go usliinst the separate estate of Mr. Carr, in preference to the joint estate of Davis and Carr? the Court's opinion was in favour •f the plaintiffs. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, and the sum due, 23,3821. WESTMINSTER 'SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) The above Sessions commenced this day before Mr. MARRIOTT. The morning was occupied in swearing in the Grand and Petty Juries, and constables for the county of Middlesex, and all further proceedings were adjourned to Monday next, when the attendance of the Juries will be required at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell.

She was represented as having been once in affluent circumstances, but reduced by an inordinate passion for gambling in the Lottery. She appeared almost in the last stage of illness, in consideration of which, and her promise not to offend again, she was discharged, MARLBOROUGILSTREF.T.—(Ttits DAY. ) Catherine litqlfahon, an old sanctified-looking fruit woman, was charged by the wife of Samuel Mains, with defrauding her of her wedding-ring. Complainant stated, that she was trying to overtake her hus band in Piccadilly ; she had a child, aged 10 months, which hindered her, and she desired the prisoner to Jeep it at her stall till she returned, and left her ring as a pledge for her return. She was gone about 20 minutes, and when she received the ring abs found it was not her own, but a brass one not worth a penny.— The prisoner denied all knowledge of the change. Mr. Mut said, he could not punish her fur the fraud; the ring having been intrusted to her, and advised her to summon the pri soner for the amount. MARYLEDONE.--(THIS W I % ) Joseph Attiwell, journeyman to Fairborn, pawnbroker, in Devonshire-street, Lisson-Grove, was charged by Mrs. Smith, of Eden-place, with being accessory to theft. Louisa Robinson, a well-dressed interesting-looking girl, 12 years of age, who is with her mother in the coinplainant's ser vice, stated that she robbed her mistress sometime within the last month of a diamond ring, worth el., which she found in the kitchen dresser, w h e re it was put in order to be cleaned, there being nobody in the kitchen at the time. She took it at nine o'clock in the morning, an d i n t h e 'course of the same day she was sent on a message for her mistress to Tottenham-court-road. On her way she went into Mr. Fairborn's shop, and asked the prisoner, who was the only person in the shop, to purchase the ring, which he did, and gave her 2s. for it, without asking any qu es ti on a b out it.

She said that she w as t aug h t t o ready and knew that th ere was a sin iu robbing others of th e i r property ; but that she w as persuaded to do it by the boy mentioned, whose christieu name is Henry, but whose sirname she does not know. She described him as a stout, fat, and fair boy, a little taller than herself, about 16 or 17 years old ; he resides in Steven-street. The complainant stated that when she missed the ring, and was informed of the circumstances by the girl on Monday last, she immediately went to Mr. Fairhaufs shop and asked for the ring, but the prisoner and Mr. Fairham denied any know ledge of the matter, and chewed her all the rings in the shop. She then told them she would g o and bring the the girl alone with her; s he accordingly went, but upon her return the prisoner was not in the shop, his master and a little boy being on l y i n i t. The girl said that neither of them was the person that bought the ring. The Friona moot Dolma* (WWI hiving ever Ott% the much leas bought a diamond-ring from her, having only handled one during all the time he has been in his 'nester's service, a period of four years.

Discharged. HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tats DAY.) Two respectably-dressed persons, named Elizabeth Jones and James Scuda►nore, were charged on suspicion of stealing 161. It appeared in evidence that a young man, named Sears, ,re cently arrived from France, and who knew both the prisoners, had, in the course of yesterday afternoon, met with a few country friends, with whom he had been sacrificing pretty freely to the jolly god. As the evening advanced he insisted on their accom panying him to another shop in Long-lane, and on the road met the two prisoners at the bar. He would insist on Mrs. Jones taking a glass and an oyster with him, which she reluctantly consented to after repeated persuasion, but staid only n short time.— During the whole of the evening Sears had been boasting of his property, and exposing some bank-notes, which to the amount of 16/. he missed shortly after leaving the oyster-room. The only ground of suspicion uppearetl to be the refusal of the prisoners to stay in his company, and take more liquors. Two of his Own friends, in vain endeavoured to prevent the prisoners being taken into custody, and now came forward to state that the notes were in the prosecutor's possession long after the departure of Mrs. Jones and Scudamore.—Charge dismissed. UNION-HALL-( . l'lm DAY) A man named William Brown, 'dressed in deep black, and of respectable appearance, was 'nought up to this office on a charge of assault, with intent to commit an offence of an abominable na ture on the person of John Jones, a carpenter, residing in the Walworth-road. From the evidence of the complainant it appeared, that he went into the Stags public-house on the previous evening, about seven o'clock, and saw the prisoner there, in company with a very _young man. On his entrance, the prisoner, whom be had some slight knowledge of, living opposite to him, addressed him, saying, " How do you do, Mr. Jones ? I have a few little jobs for you at home ; come and sit down, and take a little gin and water with me." Complainant availed himself of the invitation and sat down, when the prisoner advised his young companion to withdraw, which hint was complied with, leaving the prisoner and complainant alone in the room, when the former proposed to take the latter home, in order to show him the jobs he wanted to have done. Jones accordingly accompanied hint to his lodgings, and on their arrival the prisoner directed him to sit down on a sofa which was in the room. Jones took his seat,and had not been long there before the prisoner made use of an expression, and proceeded to acts of the most gross indecency which are not fit to meet the public eye. The com plainant, highly indignant at such horrible conduct, immediately seized hold of the fellow, and called out for,the watch. A young man who happened to be passing, hearing the cries, went in and saw the parties struggling with each other. Mr. Jones charging the prisoner with making a most indecent attack on his person. The prisoner was forthwith conveyed to the watchhouse, when the circumstance of the prisoner's disgusting conduct was related. The MAGISTRATZ having heard the fiwts of the alleged charge, asked the prisoner what he had to say in his defence? The prisoner replied that the charge was made for the purpose of extorting money, and referred to the young man, whose name is Fitzpatrick, and who was in company with him before the entrance of the former into the public house. Macits , ras.Tx.—Who is this young man? Vrisoner.—He has been placed under my tuition by his parents, who are highly respectable, and he is aware that I am incapable of committing such an offence as that imputed to me. Mr. CALDWELL.-The facts have been satisfaciorily proved against you, and I shall call upon you for bail. What are you, said the Magistrate.—" I have a tolerable independence at present, but have great expectations of a considerable addition to my property." - Mr. CALDW ILL.—This is a most disgusting charge alleged against you, and I shall call upon you to enter into your own re cognizance', in the sum of 200/. and two sureties of 100!. each, to answer the charge at the Sessions. Prieoner.—l can't get bail just now, as my friends are out ( town, but I shall have plenty here at the meeting of Parliament. The prisoner was therefore committed for want of bail.

The task of trotting i n h arness twenty-eight to i n t wo h ours, has been seldom or ever performed since it was aecomplished three years ago by Mr. Giles, of Leadenhall Market, over Sunbury Common, until Monday. The match was performed by Mr. Rogers's Traveller, over a seven-mile piece of grown! on the Huntingdon road, driven by his servant, 7st. weight. It was for 200 soya., made sometime ago, leaving the owner the liberty of starting him within a given tire. The horse was backed just before starting, at even, and at sto 4. The ground was done as follows :—The first seveu miles were performed in 28 minutes and 59 seconds; the 14 miles, in 2 minutes under the hour ; the tl, in 1 hour and 28 minutes and 10 seconds; and the whole distance of 28 miles, in 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 4 seconds. The horse performed the match well, making only two breaks the whole of the distance. At the completion of the match, a gen tleman, named Phillips, undertook to gallop his' mare the seven miles in 18 minutes, which lie performed with ease in half a mi nute within the time, riding 1 2st.—Betting 5 to 4 against time. PEDESTRIANISM. A gentleman of fortune, a Mr. Benn, started at five o'dock on Monday evening, to go from St. Pour* Chureh-yard to the S mile-atone, near Reading, and return in 20 hours, for a bet of 100 tom THE RING. The long pending fight between Ward and Crawley is length arranged, from the published challenge letter of the best, in which he stated his money was lodged with the " T .flolborn Host," where it would remain for a week; and if h',4 Elea/lenge was not accepted within that time, it would he witlA raw „ Jinni were eu tertained that Crawls 7 would claim the . o, emp i ona hi p, if the opt i_ &mime }mooed unheeded. This i•.„!„, ed Ai r. N . the b ac k er of Ward, to attend th e Cattle Tm",rn on Sunday evening, wh ere a decent sprinkling of the, f:,ncy had mustered. The challenge on the part of Ward Wag. ae.cepted ; and as on that night no business could be transacted , the fi rst staking was postponed till Tuesday evening. Craw', ey, it will b e recollected, loot a battl e t o t h e al most iuviuckie late Gas Men, is afflicted with hernia, but in other respects is k powerful and active boxer. Ward is known as the most soientific professor on the list ; his connived at d e f ea t b y Altbett irte has admitted. H e was also conquered by Josh Hod eon, who was vanquished by Cannon, who was easily beat by Ward, notwithstanding which, Ward has numerous supporters. Of the other fixed fights—Bishop Sharpe and Gaynor, the former is the favourite at five to four. Sampson and Neale, even bet ting. The Israelites can produce no suitable antagonist fur Curtis ; and Young Gas and Jew Burn cannot find competitors. The li.aghts of the Cross, who, in despair. forsook the Ring for the Turf, and in the late St. Leger were Bedlamitee, still continua frantic from their losses, but from the present matches begin to opine that, with certain management, pugilism may again be pro ductive of profit. The friends and backers of Ward and Crawley accordingly met at Belcher's Castle Tavern, by appointment, when 101. said* wee staked. The fight to take piece ou the 2d of January, withba 100 miles of London, and the place of fighting to be named by Mr. Dowling. The second deposit to be made good at Wopshott's this day fortnight; the third at Randall'* ; and the whale of the money to be made good at Belcher's a fortnight previous to fight ing. Nothing further of any consequence took place, and each party seemed satisfied with the match. Ward is at present on a sparring tour in Lancashire, but an hearing that the match has been made, he will, no doubt, lumen to commence traiuing.—Cravvley is very well, and looks with con fidence to the result of a contest which must give hint a fair chance of wearing the Laurels of the Champion of. England. DICE CURTIS Alin BA assay Amton.—These men were both present, and expressed an anxious desire to have an opportunity of appearing in the same ring with Crawley and Ward. Barney said, he was sure of 701. towards making a match fur one hula dred pounds, and inteeded " trying it on" with " our people*" em the Stock Exchange, to complete the needful. Dick also said be was deficient, but he eutertatned no doubt, that if Aaron uvula once say be was " up to the mark," he should be able to *Tait himself of the liberality of those by whom he had been so repot.. edly designated as their pet. We think it is more than prebstble that the Sheenles will not be " backward" in " coming &mull" on this occasion, and that the Fancy will,:eenireenee the new year in a manner highly encouraging to their future "oases.
